Answer:
After spending the evening at Chandrabhaga Beach we went to the Konark Sun Temple. It was not far from the beach, almost at a walking distance for people who love walking. We took a quick round of the temple. The complete complex was well lit, but it did not interest me much. It was crowded even in the night, but I failed to understand why there were so many people at that time. After spending some time there, we came out, had our dinner and I had a good–night sleep in our Panthniwas Hotel.
The next day morning, I woke up fresh enough to go through rest of the journey, which started with a visit to the Sun Temple again. Papa and Mama had gone to the temple early in the morning. Papa returned and told that Mama was waiting for us at the entrance of the temple. They had taken a guide and now for us Nikki Mama decided to play the role. In the meantime, Papa drew my attention to a picture in the hotel that showed an artistic impression of the original temple. It was double the height of today’s temple. I began to wonder how ancient people could build such sky-scrapers without today’s technology. With these thoughts playing in my mind Mummy, Nani and I arrived at the Konark Temple.
The temple compound had blooming flowers and huge trees everywhere. There was nobody in the beginning and soon tourists started to fill in. We started our guided tour from the Natyamandap/Bhogamandap. Two huge statues of a lion flanked both sides of the main steps to the hall. The lions were pouncing on an elephant that had a man under its trunk . The roof of this hall was missing. This portion of the temple was used both for offerings and dance. I was sure about the dance because all the pillars were carved with dancers and musicians. Nikki Mama told that in old times devotees were also offered Prasad there. This was the reason that one of its stairs was facing the kitchen portion of the complex.
Now the problem was that we had to reach Barkul by night and there was no better option than to book a private boat. I liked that decision because that new boat was rather clean than the ferry, and big as well. I would continue the journey towards Barkul by this ferry in my next article, where we stayed at my dream place.

The Sun Temple was constructed towards the end of Odisha's temple-building phase in the 13th century by King Narasimha Deva I of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty (whose great grandfather renovated the Jagannath Temple in Puri). Dedicated to Surya the Sun God, it was made as his colossal cosmic chariot with 12 pairs of wheels pulled by seven horses
